Book tastes
I have very eclectic taste so I’ll share what I like with a few books I’m interested in that are in stock at Readings the designated bookstore in Melbourne Australia. These are only a guide. If you want to go rogue and choose something else entirely you are more than welcome.
I like quirky memoirs (The Autograph Hunter - Adam Andruisier, Beatles Blackouts - Jack Marriott)
Natural history and natural science (Owls of the Eastern Ice - Jonathan C Slaght)
Fiction or non fiction about cats (The Age of Cats - Jonathan Losos, The Goodbye Cat - Hiro Arikawa)
Japanese crime fiction (Six Four - Hideo Yokohama, The Mantis - Kotaro Isaka)
Anything French related - history, food, fashion, fiction, non fiction (a couple of the Maigret novels by Georges Simenon would be great!)
Don't get this!
Religious books, graphic crime or animal cruelty, self help books
Other notes
If you do not hit the price threshold don’t worry. I am happy for thé extra to go to LibraryThing.
